>Chipolte

So I'm sure I'm going to earn some ire here for simply entering a Chipotle, but as a Midwesterner not particularly close to any major city, I'm kind of fucked. 80% of restaurants are chains. 20% are mom-and-pop coney islands that are almost never anything special. Even when we get chains like Chipotle and SmashBurger, we get them like five years after they make waves.

Anyway, my question is a double-header: Surely many of you share my predicament. What do you guys do? Do you just accept the reality that no restaurant within 45 minutes is basically balls and just cook every night? What do you do?

My real question is this: What the fuck are people doing ordering burrito bowls? Whenever I'm in a Chipotle or even Qdoba, 9/10 people have burrito bowls. What the fuck are they doing? Do they know something I don't?

Also, nobody seems to know you're supposed to peel the foil away as you eat it. I'm pretty sure even the people who wrap them aren't aware of this. People are either making a hot-wings-level mess or resorting to knife and fork dipshittery.
